The Beginners Guide to Meditation

Breath. In & Out. Slowly & Steadily.

For many of us, the word meditation conjures up images of religious figures in lotus positions, or people chanting in hushed tones. And while there is certainly nothing wrong with either of those things, the truth is that meditation is accessible to anyone, regardless of their beliefs or lifestyle. In its simplest form, meditation is nothing more than a way of focus and concentration. By clearing your mind of distractions and focusing on your breath, you can learn to control your thoughts and achieve a sense of inner peace.

If you're interested in giving meditation a try, here’s a few suggestions to get you started.

First, find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably without being disturbed.

Second, set a timer for however long you want to meditate, keep it short, and make sure you can see it so you don't have to worry about the time passing.

Finally, close your eyes and focus on your breath. In and out. Slowly and steadily.

With practice, meditation can help to improve your focus and concentration, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote overall wellbeing. So what are you waiting for? give it a try today.
